Default Shop recommendation around Wilmington or Lumberton areas

So... I hit a deer with the S2k a few nights ago. Looking for a good body shop that deals with insurance. Agent says I can pick my body shop, so any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

How extensive is the damage? Is it some dents, a new fender/bumper and respray or is it pretty extensive? A local shop I always use does great body work but shys away from insurance work since they prefer to do fun/resto jobs. they like s2k's but if its too much like collision work they might not go for it. The only other place I would go would be Autocolor. Both place in Wilmington BTW.

Thanks for the info. Not very extensive... new bumper, fender, headlight; dent removal from hood, door and paint; or at least that's what I can see. What's the name of the local shop you mentioned first?? I'll check them out.

Noble Custom Coatings. The nicest people ever and they do a great job. I had my entire car resprayed by them almost two years ago and a repair from a deer running into me a few months ago. They might refer you to Autodentz to get the dents pulled first then do the repaint. Give them a call. Great people to talk to. They can at least point you in the right direction.

Oh yes, I've talked to them before about some custom work, and they did mention that they don't do insurance work... But I may call them anyway just to check! Thanks for the recommendations!
